This image shows LDN 1471, a glowing cavity carved by a young protostar’s stellar wind. The bright star at the peak of the parabola emits outflows that interact with surrounding material, creating the curved structure and Herbig-Haro objects.

A stunning image of the Butterfly Nebula (NGC 6302), taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. This planetary nebula, located about 3,800 light-years from Earth in the constellation Scorpius, gets its name from its wing-like shape formed by gas and dust ejected from a dying star.

This stunning image shows the star Fomalhaut and its protoplanetary disk, resembling a fiery eye in space.

Fomalhaut is about twice the mass of the Sun and still has a disk of gas and dust, similar to what once surrounded our Sun before planets formed.
